"Last year saw a monstrous increase in the volume of malicious spam,
according to a new report. In the second half of 2009, the number of spam messages sent per day skyrocketed from 600 million to three billion,according to new research. For some time now, spam has been accounting for 90 or more percent of all email messages. But the volume of spam had been relatively steady in the last couple of years. Now, the emergence of several large-scale botnets, including Zeus and Koobface, has led to an enormous spike in the volume of spam."
'The writer Douglas Adams observed how
technology that existed when we were born seems normal, anything that is
developed before we turn 35 is exciting, and whatever comes after that is
treated with suspicion.'"

Obama is going to continue the war in Afghanistan. This has many
people disappointed in him. Let me state that I am against the war;
nonetheless, why is anyone surprised that Obama is behaving this way?
Why should anybody say they have lost faith in him because of this
action? Did anybody listen to any of his speeches and debates before
you voted for him? He clearly stated over and over again that he was
NOT AGAINST WAR; he was against stupid wars like Iraq. He clearly
stated over and over again that the real war is in Afghanistan.
Another campaign promise being kept: getting out of Iraq and more
action in Afghanistan! Also. BTW, he was obviously not a far left
politician. Much more moderate than many people expected; remember the
press and pundits complained he was too cautious and laid back during
the campaign. Perhaps the inspiration we felt has been tarnished by
meeting the realities in Congress and the World - the same realities
that all new Presidents have faced. We go in with great hopes and are
lucky if we can accomplish a small part of our ambitious ideas. Obama
has already accomplished more of his campaign promises than any other
President in recent memory. The problem we all face in judging him is
that many of his accomplishments are hidden behind the curtain of
being unmeasurable; what would the economy be like without Obama's
intervention, how much worse would the job situation be, how much of
health care legislation will work? Take a deep breath, cross your
fingers and ignore the press and pundits for a few more months.
